PERIODICAL     READING-ROOMS. 

Art.  5.  All  persons  above  the  age  of  fourteen 
years,  of  respectable  character,  and  of  such  orderly 
conduct  and  condition  as  not  to  interfere  with 
the  occupations  and  comfort  of  others,  shall 
have  free  access  to  the  Reading-Rooms  for  Periodi- 
cals, during  all  regular  hours. 


REGULATIONS.  O 

Note.  —  The  Central  Reading-Koom  for  Periodicals  is  provided 
with  seats  for  one  hundred  readers.  It  has  the  hest  collection  of 
American  and  Foreign  Periodicals  in  the  country,  and  is  amply 
furnished  with  Dictiona'ries,  Gazetteers,  Cyclopasdias,  and  other 
books  of  reference,  which  are  free  of  access  to  all.  The  Reading- 
Rooms  of  the  Branch  Libraries  are  on  a  less  extended  scale. 
When  a  Periodical  is  wanted,  its  name  or  box-number,  together 
with  the  name  and  residence  of  the  borrower,  must  be  written  on 
a  slip  of  paper,  —  furnished  for  that  purpose  at  the  Desk,  —  and 
left  with  the  attendant.  [See  Article  10.]  Every  Periodical 
received  from  the  attendant  must  be  returned  by  the  borrower 
before  leaving  the  Reading-Room ;  and  it  must  not  be  carried 
into  any  other  part  of  the  building,  without  special  permission 
from  some  officer  at  the  Library.  Every  Periodical,  when  re- 
turned, will  be  carefully  examined  by  the  attendant,  who  is 
required  to  report  immediately  any  injury  which  it  may  have 
suffered.  Incomplete  volumes  of  Periodicals  cannot  be  taken 
from  the  building,  unless  permission  be  given  by  the  Trustees. 
Bound  volumes  of  Periodicals  in  Bates  Hall  do  not  circulate  ex- 
cept by  permission  of  the  Librarian  or  his  representative.  The 
books  of  reference  at  the  Desk  are  to  be  consulted  there,  and 
returned  promptly  to  their  proper  places.  No  reader  will  be 
allowed  to  accumulate  them  on  the  tables.  All  conversation,  all 
avoidable  noise,  and  unbecoming  conduct  of  every  kind,  are 
strictly  prohibited.  The  attendant  is  required  to  check  every  ir- 
regularity of  the  kind,  and  if  necessary,  to  make  report  thereof. 
The  attendant  is  not  allowed  to  converse  in  this  room  except  on 
Library  business.  Certain  American  magazines  (bound  in  covers) 
can  be  taken  out  as  four-day  books  until  the  next  number  ap- 
pears, when  they  become  fourteen-day  books.  Applicants  must 
write  on  a  white  slip  the  name  of  the  magazine  and  the  month 
they  desire.  These  magazines  are  in  the  Lower  Hall  and  Branches, 
the  Atlantic,  Century,  and  Harpers;  with  the  addition  in  the 
Lower  Hall  of  the  Popular  science  monthly  and  St.  Nicholas. 

HOME    USE    OF    BOOKS. 

Art.  6.  The  following  persons,  when  of  orderly 
conduct  and  condition,  shall  be  entitled  to  borrow 
books  from  the  Library  for  home  use,  upon  sign- 
ing* a  promise  to  obey  its  Regulations. 


4  REGULATIONS. 

First.  All  inhabitants  of  Boston  above  the  age 
of  fourteen  years ;  all  clergymen  and  teachers 
who  have  permanent  professional  occupation  in 
the  city ;  also  the  members  of  such  higher  educa- 
tional institutions  in  the  city  as  the  Trustees  may 
from  time  to  time  permit.  All  such  persons  must 
have  signed  the  application  card,  and  given  satis- 
factory reference  to  one  citizen. 

Note.  —  The  registration  takes  place  in  the  Lower  Hall,  and  at 
the  Branch  Libraries,  and  Deliveries ;  and  a  card  issued  at  any 
Branch  Library  or  Delivery  is  good  for  Bates  Hall  as  -well  as  for 
the  Lower  Hall,  or  for  one  of  the  Branch  Libraries.  Registration 
in  more  than  one  of  these  places  is  forbidden.  The  cards  issued 
at  the  several  Libraries  have  different  stamps,  as  follows  :  — 

Central  Library date 

East  Boston •  date  E 

South  Boston S  date 

Roxbury date  B 

Charlestown date  G

Lower  Mills L  date 

Roslindale Bos.  date 

Mattapan Matt,  date 

North  End N  date 

Neponset Z  date 

West  Roxbury TJ".  B.  date 

To  change  a  card  all  books  must  first  be  returned  at  the  Library 
from  which  they  were  taken ;  and  the  old  card  must  be  properly 
stamped,  showing  that  the  return  has  been  made. 

Second.     Any  other  inhabitant  of  Boston  who 
deposits  the   sum  requested  by  the  Librarian  for 


REGULATIONS.  O 

the  volume  desired,  if  it  be  permitted  to  circulate, 
or  for  the  set  to  which  it  may  belong.  Such  sum 
shall  be  repaid  whenever  the  books  and  the  receipt 
given  therefor  are  returned,  after  any  lines  in- 
curred for  injury  to  the  book  or  its  improper  de- 
tention have  been  deducted. 


Kote.  — Non-residents  (when  specially  permitted,  in  considera- 
tion of  the  advancement  of  puhlic  interests)  may  take  hooks  for 
home  use,  in  accordance  with  the  conditions  imposed  in  each 
case  by  the  Trustees.  When  the  ordinary  privileges  are  granted, 
a  "  Non-resident's  card  "  is  given  at  the  Central  Library  only,  and 
under  fixed  conditions.  Non-resident  tax-payers  of  Boston  are 
denied  the  privilege,  as  such,  of  taking  books  from  the  building, 
by  a  vote  of  the  City  Council  in  1S62. 

Residents  may  make  application  for  special  privilege  cards, 
entitling  the  holder  to  draw  more  books,  and  to  keep  them  longer 
than  the  rules  allow ;  but  such  cards  are  granted  only  in  the  in- 
terests of  citizens  at  large,  or  of  a  considerable  class  of  them, 
and  not  the  advancement  merely  of  private  studies.  The  claims 
of  professional  authors,  lecturers,  teachers,  and  editors,  will  be 
considered  on  the  merits  of  each  case  as  presented;  and  accord- 
ingly an  explicit  statement  should  be  made,  to  assist  the  authori- 
ties in  their  decision.  Such  privileges  are  sometimes  granted  to 
non-residents  for  fitting  reasons;  but  non-residents  must  remem- 
ber that  the  rights  of  citizens  in  the  Library  must  be  interfered 
with  by  them  as  little  as  possible.  Four  books  and  four  iceeks  are 
the  limits  of  a  special  privilege,  except  in  extraordinary  cases ; 
and  two  books  and  two  weeks  are  all  that  will  be  ordinarily 
granted.  Cards  given  are  good  for  the  time  specified  thereon, 
which  shall  not,  however,  exceed  one  year,  and  are  always  sub- 
ject to  recall.  Applications  should  be  handed  in  person  or  sent 
by  mail  to  the  Librarian.  The  privilege,  if  granted,  can  only  be 
used  for  books  on  special  topics,  and  not  for  miscellaneous  read- 
ing, or  for  books  newly  acquired,  the  use  of  which  is  subject  to 
the  general  rules  of  the  Library  in  such  cases.  If  the  applicant 
is  not  known  to  some  one  of  the  Trustees,  or  the  Librarian,  a 
recommendation  from  some  one  who  is  known  should  be  made 
on  the  application. 


6  REGULATIONS, 

Art.  7.  Any  person  visiting  the  Library  for  the 
purpose  of  literary  or  scientific  investigations  may 
temporarily  receive  the  benefit  of  the  Reading- 
Rooms,  and  the  use  of  the  books  within  the  Li- 
brary buildings.  Any  persons  wishing  to  consult 
the  Patent  Specifications  in  the  Patent  Room  will 
be  permitted  to  do  so,  upon  making  application 
at  the  Bates  Hall  delivery  desk  at  any  time 
between  9  A.M.  and  G  P.M. 

Note.  —  See  under  the  head  of  Catalogues,  in  this  Hand-book. 
A  study  room  with  tables,  and  ink  for  writing,  is  in  the  rear  of 
the  desk  in  the  Bates  Hall,  and  admission  can  be  had  on  appli- 
cation. 

Art.  8.  All  books  belonging  to  the  Library  may, 
at  the  discretion  of  the  Librarian,  be  used  in  the 
building,  and  in  such  part  of  it  as  he  may  desig- 
nate,—  a  discretion  which  he  is  required  by  the 
Trustees  to  exercise,  especially  in  the  case  of 
minors,  and  in  the  use  of  books  of  great  value  or 
rarity.  All  examination  of  costly  or  rare  works 
must  be  made,  if  the  Librarian  requires  it,  in  the 
presence  and  with  the  assistance  of  an  attendant 
connected  with  the  Library.  The  Librarians  of 
the  Branch  Libraries  will  comply  with  this  rule  as 
far  as  applicable,  under  instructions  from  the 
Librarian. 

Art.  9.  Encyclopaedias,  Dictionaries,  and  other 
books  needed  for  reference  in  the  Library  build- 
ings ;  books  not  easily  to  be  replaced,  in  conse- 
quence of  their  rarity  or  value ;  books  expressly 
given  for  reference  only;    books   deemed  by  the 


REGULATIONS.      .  / 

Trustees  to  be  misuitecl  for  general  circulation ; 
and  unbound  periodicals, — shall  be  used  only  in 
the  buildings.  In  order  to  allow  the  widest  use 
of  the  Library,  however,  consistent  with  efficiency, 
a  person  desiring  to  borrow  any  book  or  periodical, 
and  stating  in  writing  reasons  therefor  which  may 
seem  sufficient  to  the  Trustees,  shall  be  permitted 
to  borrow  such  book  on  proper  terms,  unless  it  be 
two-starred  on  the  Catalogues,  and  labelled  "  For 
Hall  Use,'1  or  one  that  could  not  be  replaced  if 
lost. 

Books  of  a  purely  medical  character  shall  be 
issued  only  to  adult  persons  and  those  profession- 
ally studying  or  practising  the  healing-art. 

METHOD  OF  DRAWING  BOOKS  OUT. 

Art.  10.  Every  person  allowed  the  privilege 
of  taking  books  from  the  Library  will  be  fur- 
nished with  a  card  setting  forth  his  right,  and 
bearing  a  record  of  his  residence  as  given  in  his 
application.  If  this  residence  be  changed  imme- 
diate notice  must  be,  given  at  the  Library,  and  neg- 
lect to  do  so  may  subject  the  card-holder  to  forfeit- 
ure of  his  card.  The  registered  holder  is  in  all 
cases  responsible  for  books  drawn  by  means  of  his 
card,  by  whomsoever  presented. 

Note.  —  See  note  under  Akticle  6. 

In  either  Hall  or  Branch  Library  slips  for  books 
will  be  furnished  the  applicants,  as  they  may 
require   them.     The   applicant  will  write   in  the 


<S  REGULATIONS. 

ruled  spaces  on  these  slips  the  shelf-numbers  of  the 
books  desired,  and  copy  plainly  in  the  prescribed 
places  on  the  slip  the  name  and  residence  borne 
on  the  card  in  use;  and  both  the  card  and  the 
slip  will  then  be  handed  to  the  attendant,  [fthe 
card  is  not  presented  on  the  return  of  a  book,  it 
may  be  detained  in  the  Library  at  least  one  day, 
when  it  is  next  used  to  procure  a  book.  II'  a  card 
be  lost,  it  cannot  be  replaced  till  fifteen  days  after 
notice  of  the  loss  lias  been  given  at  the  Library, 
which  interval  is  necessary  to  stop  its  use  in  irre- 
sponsible hands;  but  the  loss  of  a  card  will  not 
remove  the  holder's  responsibility  for  its  sub- 
sequent use.  [fa  lost  card  is  recovered  after  a 
new  one  ha  been  issued  in  its  stead,  the  duplicate 
must  be  immediately  surrendered. 

In  the  Reading-Booms  for  Periodicals,  when- 
ever a  periodica]  is  taken  from  the  desk,  its 
number,  together  with  the  name  and  residence 
of  the  borrower,  must  be  written  on  a  slip  of 
paper  furnished  for  the  purpose,  and  left  with  the 
attendanl . 

RESTRICTIONS  ON   THE    USE   OF   BOOKS. 

Art.  II.  No  person  shall  have,  in  home  use, 
more  than  one  volume  from  each  Hall  of  the 
Central  Library,  at  a  time,  or  more  than  two 
volumes  at  a  time  from  both,  unless  in  cases  of 
sets,  where  other  volumes  are  necessary  for  con- 
venient use;  which  necessity  is  to  be  determined 
in  all  cases  l>\  the  officer  in  chai 

Holders  of  cards  issued  at  any  Branch  Library

rian may  pre  icribe. 

Books  marked  with  two  stars  (**)  can  under  no 
circumstances   leave  the   building;   this  class  in 
eludes  all  books,  the  shelf-numbers  of  which  are 
prefixed  with  the  Letters  1),  E,  (>,  II,  and  K  and 
those  in  the  Patent  Room. 

Books  marked  with  three  stars  (%*)  are  of  two 

:  — 

1st.  Books  which  cannot  be  loaned  except  by

title  only  which  has  the  imprint,  and  not  to  cross  references. 

f£zr  Books  loaned  are  at  all  times  subject  to  recall  for  Library 
purposes. 

Books  which  have  one  star  attached  to  them  are  of  eevera 
kinds:  1.  Those  not  easily  replaced.  2.  Those  belonging  to  long 
sets,  which,  if  broken,  lose  much  of  their  value,  and  which  it  is 
often  difficult  to  complete  again.  3.  Those  which  from  their 
nature  are  hooks  of  reference,  and  hence  fitted  to  serve  a  greater 
number  in  the  building  than  when  in  circulation.  4.  Those  for 
reference  only  in  Bates  Hall  which  are  duplicates  of  books  in 
the  Lower  Hall,  where  sufficient  copies  will  be  kept  to  meet  the 
demand. 

Application  for  one-starred  books  will  be  granted  upon  a  slip 
properly  filled,  if  the  character  of  the  book  and  the  reasons  of  the 
applicant  are  approved. 

All  these  books  can  be  used  in  the  various  halls  at  the  discre- 
tion of  the  librarians. 


FINES. 

Art.  12.  To  protect  the  Library  against  loss, 
and  to  secure  to  all  a  just  and  equitable  share  in 
its  benefit,  any  person  who  detains  a  volume 
longer  than  the  regulations  permit  shall  be  fined 
two  cents  for  each  day  of  detention ;  and  pay  two 
cents  for  each  mailed  notice,  and  no  remission  of 
any  fine  shall  be  made  except  by  the  Librarian. 

Note.  —  The  day  on  which  a  book  is  taken  out  is  not  counted 
in  casting  the  time,  under  the  rules,  during  which  a  book  may  be 
detained;  but  Sundays  are  always  counted,  and  holidays,  and 
other  days  on  which  the  Library  may  be  closed,  are  also  counted, 
except  when  such  day  happens  to  be  one  on  which  the  count 
ends,  and  then  the  count  shall  end  at  the  close  of  the  first  day 
thereafter  on  which  the  Library  may  be  opened. 

Example.  —  A  work  of  fiction  published  within  one  year  is 
taken  out  on  Monday,  Feb.  1st.  If  returned  on  Monday,  Feb. 
8th,  no  fine  is  incurred;  if  not  returned  on  that  day,  a  mailed 


REGULATIONS.  11 

notice  is  sent  on  the  12th,  and  a  fine  of  two  cents  is  incurred  for 
every  day  after  the  eighth,  until  the  book  is  returned,  with  cost 
of  mail  notice.  If,  for  any  reason,  the  Library  he  closed  on  the 
8th,  the  borrower  may  have  the  9th,  or  the  first  day  subsequent 
on  which  the  Library  may  be  open,  to  return  the  book. 

If  the  book  is  not  returned  by  Monday  the  22d,  —  ten  days  after 
the  notice  was  mailed,  —  a  messenger  notice  is  sent  on  the  23d, 
and  an  additional  penalty  of  twenty  cents,  together  with  cost  of 
mail  notice,  is  demanded,  whether  the  hook  is  returned  early  or 
late  on  that  day,  or  any  subsequent  day. 

If  the  Library  is  closed  on  the  22d,  the  borrower  has  the  23d  or 
the  first  open  day  thereafter,  to  return  the  book,  and  the  messenger 
notice  is  sent  and  the  penalty  incurred  ou  the  second  open  day. 

In  the  Lower  Hall  the  fine  must  be  paid  at  the  Clerk's  Desk 
and  the  card  stamped  before  books  will  be  delivered  upon  it.  In 
the  Bates  Hall,  the  Branch  Libraries,  and  the  Branch  Deliveries, 
the  fine  is  to  be  paid  at  a  designated  desk.  The  Librarians  of 
the  Branch  Libraries  will  report  to  the  Librarian  in  chief  cases 
for  the  remission  of  fines. 

Borroivers  who  return  books  without  their  Library  card  to  be 
stamped  off,  do  not  secure  the  evidence  which  may  be  necessary 
to  them  in  case  of  a  question  about  the  return,  where  the  records 
of  the  Library  are  against  thou. 

Art.  13.  Any  book  detained  two  weeks  beyond 
(lie  time  limited  by  these  regulations  shall  be  sent 
for,  and  an  additional  penalty  of  twenty  cents 
shall  be  collected  from  every  delinquent  after  the 
detention  of  a  book  more  than  four  weeks  ;  and  no

[Approved  Feb.  26,  1872.] 

The  Trustees  offer  a  Reward  of  Twenty-five  Dollars  to 
any  person,  not  in  the  employ  of  the  Library,  for  information 
leading  to  a  conviction  under  this  law. 

Convictions  have  already  been  obtained,  and  placards  with  the 
names  of  offenders  have  been  posted  in  the  Library  for  a  limited 
number  of  days. 

RETURN   OF    BOOKS. 

Art.  16.  All  books  must  be  returned  to  the 
Library  at  such  times  as  may  be  required  by  the

of  the  time  when  books  must  be  returned  shall  be 
given  in  the  newspapers  of  the  city. 


REGULATIONS.  13 

Note. — It  is  not  customary  to  close  the  Library  for  any  peri- 
odical examination,  as  that  work  now  goes  on  without  any  inter- 
mission of  the  circulation, 


BOOKS  NOT  TO  BE  TAKEN  FROM  THE  SHELVES. 

Art.  17.  No  books  shall  be  taken  from  the 
shelves  in  any  part  of  the  Library  by  any  person

cept such  books  as  are  deposited  in  the  public 
rooms  for  reference. 

CONVERSATION,  ETC. 

Art.  18.  All  conversation  and  conduct,  incon- 
sistent with  quiet  and  order,  are  strictly  pro- 
hibited. 

Note.  —  The  use  of  tobacco  in  the  building  is  forbidden  by  an 
order  of  the  Trustees. 

ABUSES,  ETC. 

Art.  19.  Any  person  who  abuses  the  privileges 
of  the  Library  by  unbecoming"  conduct,  by  viola- 
tion of  any  of  the  regulations,  by  intentional 
defacement  of  a  book  by  writing  in  it,  or  in  any 
other  way,  shall  be  reported  to  the  Trustees  as 
soon  as  may  be,  and  be  by  them  thenceforth,  or 
for  a  time,  excluded  from  the  Library,  according 
to  the  nature  and  degree  of  the  delinquency  or 
default;  but,  in  case  of  any  gross  offence,  the 
Librarian  or  his  representative  may  act  summarily 
in  the  matter,  and  cause  the  offender  to  be  at  once 


14  REGULATIONS. 

excluded  from  the  building,  reporting  the  case  to 
the  Trustees,  as  soon  as  possible,  in  writing,  for 
their  final  decision. 

Art.  20.  Any  person  removing  cards  from  the 
drawers  of  the  Card  Catalogue  will  subject  him- 
self to  a  suspension  of  all  his  library  privileges 
for  two  or  more  weeks,  at  the  discretion  of  the 
Librarian.  The  taking  away  of  cards  from  the 
Card  Catalogue  mutilates  it  and  unfits  it  for  all 
purposes  of  reference,  in  as  great  a  degree  as  the 
tearing  out  of  its  leaves  does  a  printed  catalogue. 


CATALOGUES. 


Copies  of  the  Catalogues  are  always  accessible 
in  the  various  departments  of  the  Library. 

BULLETINS. 

New  books  as  soon  as  received  are  entered  on 
the  Bulletin-boards  of  each  Library.  The  Bul- 
letin-board for  Bates  Hall  shows  newly  published 
books  added  to  the  Central  Library,  and  before 
titles  appear  on  the  Board  the  new  books  are  dis- 
played (with  the  shelf-number  attached)  in  a  glass 
case  at  the  desk.  The  lists  in  the  Lower  Hall  and 
at  the  Branches  show  only  the  books  added  to  those 
departments.  The  Dorchester  list  is  posted  also 
at  the  Lower  Mills,  Mattapan,  and  Neponset  deliv- 
eries, and  the  Jamaica  Plain  list  at  the  Roslindale 
and  West  Roxbury  delivery. 

The  printed  Bulletins  contain  the  new  and  more 
important  books  placed  in  the  Library,  with  other 
matters  deemed  of  interest  to  the  readers. 

They  are  for  sale  (excepting  those  out  of  print) 
at  five  cents  each.  Books  with  numbers  below 
2110  are  in  the  Lower  Hall ;  with  2110  and  above,

the  arts  and  sciences,  literature  and  the  drama,  and 
works  in  foreign  languages  in  the  Lower  Hall  which

the  book  needed  is  not  in  the  Upper  Hall,  consult 
the  Card  Catalogue  in  the  Lower  Hall,  and  it  may

able books,  readers  are  invited  to  write  the  titles 
of  such  books  upon  slips  to  be  obtained  at  the  Desk,

ment can  be  borrowed  like  other  books. 

As  the  books  on  the  shelves  are  classed  accord- 
ing to  subjects,  the  shelf-lists  will  frequently  afford 
the  readiest  means  of  ascertaining  the  extent  of 
the  Library's  general  collection  in  any  given 
department,  and  these  can  be  consulted  on  appli- 
cation.

CENTRAL  PERIODICAL   READING-ROOM. 

A  list  of  periodicals  currently  received  (more 
than  800  in  number,  of  which  about  one-half  are 
kept  in  the  Reading-Room)  is  for  sale  at  5  cents. 

A  List  was  published  in  December,  1878,  of 
serial  publications  now  taken  in  the  principal 
Libraries  of  Boston  and  Cambridge.  An  inter- 
leaved copy  with  additions  can  be  seen  on  appli- 
cation to  the  Librarian  of  Bates  Hall. 

Periodicals,  when  removed  from  the  Reading- 
room   boxes,   are    kept  assorted,    and   bound  by 


CATALOGUES.  21 

volumes  as  completed,  and  assigned  to  the 
shelves.  In  the  Card  Catalogue  often  only  com- 
pleted and  bound  volumes  are  entered.  Incom- 
plete numbers  of  periodicals  and  parts  of  other 
publications  issued  serially  are  indicated  on  a 
special  memorandum  catalogue  in  the  Ordering 
Department,  which  can  be  examined  on  application. 
There  are  numerous  periodicals  in  charge  of  the 
Curator  of  Periodicals,  and  others  kept  in  the 
Bates  Hall,  which  for  various  reasons  are  not  put  in 
the  Reading  Room.  [See  Articles  2  and  5  of 
the  Regulations.] 

ENGRAVINGS. 

There  is  a  separate  List  of  the  Portraits  in  the 
Tosti  Engravings. 

Bulletins  13  and  15  contain  a  list  of  that  portion 
of  the  Tosti  collection  of  engravings  which  is  in 
bound  volumes,  embracing  nearly  5,100  prints; 
and  Bulletin  21  contains  a  list  of  the  framed  prints, 
not  portraits,  in  Bates  Hall.  A  Supplemental 
List,  May,  1873,  completes  the  catalogue  of  the 
collection.  These  lists  have  been  bound  in  a 
separate  volume. 

The  Tosti  Engravings,  kept  in  volumes,  are 
shown  daily  in  the  Bates  Hall,  from  9  to  12  M. 
The  Curator  has  in  charge  a  consolidated  cata- 
logue, with  cross-references,  made  from  the  printed 
lists  ;  and  also  a  complete  Card  Catalogue  for  the 
entire  collection  is  in  separate  drawers  at  the 
north  end  of  the  Catalogue-case  of  the  Bates  Hall, 
properly  labelled.

PAMPHLETS. 

Special  efforts  are  constantly  made  to  increase 
the  collection  of  pamphlets,  and  appeals  are  made 
to  the  friends  of  the  Library  for  gifts  of  such,  pub- 
lications. They  are  bound  and  catalogued  as 
rapidly  as  jDossible,  and  are  to  be  sought  for  in  the 
catalogues  in  the  same  way  as  books. 

Those  not  yet  bound  or  catalogued  are  kept 
assorted,  and  the  Curator  of  the  Pamphlets  can 
be  consulted  concerning  them.  Duplicates  not 
needed  are  in  like  manner  arranged  for  exchanges. 
The  following  method  of  exchange  has  proved  to 
be  the  best  one :  In  return  for  pamphlets  pub- 
lished in  any  particular  State  or  section  of  the 
country,  this  Library  will  send  an  equal  number 
issued  in  Massachusetts  or  New  England. 

NEWSPAPERS. 

The  titles  of  many  of  the  newspapers  in  the  Li- 
brary appear  in  the  Bates  Hall  catalogue,  both 
under  their  names  and  under  "  Periodicals.1'  The 
Curator  has  a  special  Card  Catalogue  in  charge, 
which  brings  the  record  down  to  date.  He  has  also 
in  charge  a  list  in  which  the  newspapers  are  ar- 
ranged by  years,  so  that  it  can  be  ascertained  at 
once  what  papers  in  the  Library  cover  a  given 
period.  A  list  of  the  files  at  the  Boston  Athenaeum, 
and  at  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  is  also 
in  the  Curator's  keeping.  Current  newspapers  are 
not  taken ;  but  some  of  the  principal  newspapers 


CATALOGUES.  23 

are  added  as  the  volumes  are  completed.  The 
Curator  of  the  Newspaper  room  can  give  all 
needful  information  upon  application. 

MAPS. 

These  are  also  to  be  searched  for  in  the  Bates 
Hall  catalogues  under  the  name  of  the  country  or 
place,  and  the  engraver  or  compiler.

MANUSCRIPTS. 

A  partial  list  of  the  manuscripts  in  this  Library 
can  be  found  in  the  Card  catalogue,  under  the 
heading  Manuscripts.  The  Bowditch  mathemati- 
cal manuscripts  appear  in  the  Index  of  the  Bates 
Hall.  In  the  Prince  Library  there  are  many  early 
New  England  manuscripts,  a  list  of  which  may  be 
found  in  the  Prince  catalogue.  The  Spanish 
manuscripts  (mostly  transcripts)  in  the  Ticknor 
collection  are  described  in  the  Ticknor  catalogue. 
The  Barton  collection  contains  many  interesting 
manuscripts  and  autographs.  There  are  manu- 
scripts relating  to  the  West  Indies  in  the  Hunt 
collection.  The  original  parole  of  Burgoyne  and 
Riedesel  and  their  armies,  given  at  Cambridge 
subsequent  to  the  capitulation  at  Saratoga,  is  one 
of  the  most  interesting  manuscripts  in  the  Library's 
collection. 


24  CATALOGUES. 


DUPLICATES. 

A  room  in  the  basement  is  set  apart  for  dupli- 
cates. They  are  not  catalogued,  but  are  arranged 
by  classes,  and  in  charge  of  a  Curator.  Many  of 
these  the  Library  would  gladly  exchange  for 
other  books  not  in  its  possession. 

THE   CATALOGUE   SYSTEM   OF   THE   LIBRARY. 

There  are  three  things,  one  of  which  a  person 
in  search  of  a  book  must  know.  A  triple  and 
combined  alphabetical  system  will  therefore  guide 
the  reader  more  readily  than  any  other,  as  he 
always  looks  in  the  proper  alphabetical  place  for 
the  entry  he  seeks.  These  three  things  are  as 
follows :  — 

I.  The  title.  If  this  is  not  clearly  indicative  of 
the  subject  of  the  work,  search  for  it  under  the 
first  word  not  an  article  or  a  preposition,  or  under 
the  chief  word  of  the  title.  If  it  is,  the  subject 
should  be  looked  for  rather  than  the  title. 

II.  The  author's  name.  Find  this  in  its  proper 
alphabetical  place.  If  the  name  is  a  pseudonym 
there  will  be  a  reference  from  it  to  the  real  name. 
When  the  initials  of  the  author's  name  only  ap- 
pear the  last  initial  is  put  first.  Look  also  under 
the  names  of  editor's  of  collections.  All  editions 
of  the  Bible  and  its  parts  are  entered  under  the 
word  "  Bible.1'  Societies,  Governments,  Depart- 
ments, etc.,  are  considered  as  the  authors  of  works 
published  by  them ;    and   such   publications   will 


CATALOGUES.  25 

generally  be  found  under  the  names  of  such 
bodies.  In  the  headings  of  the  titles,  the  names 
of  authors  are  given  in  their  vernacular  form. 
French  surnames  preceded  by  Le,  La,  or  L\  are 
entered  under  L;  by  Du  or  Bes  under  D ;  by  de 
or  d\  under  the  initial  letter  of  the  name  follow- 
ing this  prefix.  In  English  names  the  prefix  is 
treated  as  a  component  part  of  the  surname  ;  as  in 
De  Quincey,  Van  Ness.  In  other  languages, 
surnames  are  entered  under  the.  letter  which 
begins  the  name  that  follows  the  prefix.  Com- 
pound surnames,  if  English,  are  put  under  the  last 
part  of  the  name,  when  the  first  has  not  been 
used  alone  by  the  author ;  if  foreign,  under  the 
first  part.  British  noblemen  and  ecclesiastical  dig- 
nitaries are  entered  under  their  family  names  with 
cross-references  from  their  titular  appellations. 
All  other  noblemen  are  usually  catalogued  under 
their  titles.  Initials  enclosed  within  marks  of  paren- 
thesis stand  for  Christian  names  which  are  not  usu- 
ally retained  by  the  persons  to  whom  they  properly 
belong;  as  About,  E.  (F.  V.).  In  the  headings  of 
the  titles,  the  German  diphthongs,  a,  o,  ii,  are  writ- 
ten a  e,  o  e,  u  e ;  Goethe  occurs,  for  example,  in 
alphabetical  order,  before  Goldsmith,  instead  of 
after  it.  An  italicized  name  within  marks  of  pa- 
renthesis following  the  name  of  an  author  is  the 
pseudonym  of  such  author;  as  Agassiz,  E.  C.

there ;  but  observe  that  these  references  are  not 
always  to  more  general  subjects,  inasmuch  as  it  is 
left  to  the  intelligence  of  the  user  to  look  for  mat- 
ter pertaining  to  the  horse,  for  example,  under  such 
general  heads  as  Natural  History,  Animals,  Quad- 
rupeds, and  Mammals,  books  on  which  general 
topics  have,  almost  as  a  matter  of  course,  chap- 
ters or  sections  on  particular  animals.  Again, 
books  on  the  same  subject  will  sometimes  be 
found  under  different  heads,  where  the  terms  are 
synonymous,  or  nearly  so,  as,  for  instance,  Coins 
and  Numismatics  ;  but  in  such  cases  the  cards  are 
put  under  one  of  these  heads  with  cross-references 
from  the  other.  Indeed,  a  multiplication  of  cross- 
references  is  a  fundamental  idea  of  the  system. 
This  necessitates,  of  course,  the  disadvantage  of 
turning  from  one  part  of  the  catalogue  to  another ; 
but  there  is,  on  the  other  hand,  a  great  advantage 
in  the  certainty  of  getting  a  clew  somewhere,  —  a 
thing  often  impossible  in  an  unindexed  classified 
catalogue,  except  to  such  as  have  made  its  system 
a  study. 

ASSISTANCE    TO    READERS 

will  be  afforded  by  officers  and  attendants  of  the 
Library  in  the  examination  of  the  catalogues,  to 
such  an  extent  as  other  duties  may  permit ;  but  it 
should  be  remembered  that  all  in  the  Library  have 
special  duties,  and  no  considerable  portion  of 
their  time  should  be  held  at  the  exclusive  disposal 
of  any  individual  reader,  nor  can  they  undertake 
to  do  merely  literary  work,  such  as  making  out

lists  of  books  on  particular  subjects,  searching  out 
questions  of  publication  and  authorship,  etc. ;  but 
assistance  of  every  kind  will  be  given  as  far  as 
consistent  or  practicable.  Visitors  are  not  allowed 
to  converse  with  the  attendants  except  upon  Library 
business.  Readers  wishing  to  consult  many  books 
in  protracted  investigations,  and  to  use  pen  and 
ink,  can  be  accommodated  in  the  Study  Boom  of 
the  Bates  Hall.     Writing-paper  is  not  supplied. 

HOW   TO   GET   A   BOOK. 

Having  found  the  number  attached  to  the  book 
you  want,  take  a  slip  furnished  at  the  desk,  and 
copy  in  the  prescribed  places  the  name  and  resi- 
dence on  your  card. 

Find  in  the  catalogue  the  numbers  attached  to 
the  book  you  want.  Put  the  number  before  the 
dot  (.)  in  the  column  on  the  slip  headed  Shelf, 
and  that  after  the  dot  (.)  in  column  headed  No. ; 
and,  if  the  book  is  in  more  than  one  volume,  des- 
ignate the  one  wanted  in  the  column  headed  Vol. 
If,  for  instance,  you  want  the  second  volume  of 
Bishop  Hooper's  works,  the  figures  in  the  slip- 
columns  will  be  written  thus  :  —

together  with  your  card,  which  will  be  returned  to 
you  with  the  book. 

At  the  Bates  Hall  desk  is  an  indicator  in  charge 
of  an  attendant  who,  in  a  few  seconds,  will  inform 
the  applicant  if  the  book  desired  is  out,  and  thus 
save  useless  waiting.  When  books  are  in  they  are 
brought  as  speedily  as  possible;  but  parties  should 
understand  that  each  applicant  is  served  in  turn, 
and  that  which  may  seem  to  be  a  great  delay  is 
unavoidable  by  reason  of  the  number  of  those  en- 
titled to  prior  service. 

In  the  Lower  Hall  the  slips  will  be  found  at 
the  Clerk's  desk.  It  is  advisable  to  insert  the 
numbers  of  several  books,  to  increase  the  chance 
of  finding  one  of  them  in.  In  this  Hall  hand  in 
the  slip  and  card  at  the  Receiving  counter,  and 
listen  for  the  calling  of  your  name  at  the  Delivery 
counter,  where  the  book  will  be  given  to  you  with 
the  card.  If  no  book  is  given  with  the  card  it 
means  that  all  the  books  designated  on  the  slip 
are  out.  Then  hand  in  a  new  slip,  with  other 
numbers,  with  the  card  again,  at  the  Receiving 
counter.  If  you  return  a  book  with  your  card, 
but  without  a  slip  for  another  book,  the  card  will 
be  given  out  at  the  Delivery  counter,  not  at  the 
place  it  was  put  in. 

The  Branch  Libraries  are  in  character  mainly  a 
counterpart  of  the  Lower  Hall  Library ;  and  the 
foregoing  directions  are  in  most  respects  applica- 
ble to  the  use  of  them. 

In  the  Bates  Hall,  if  you  do  not  find  a  book  in, 
you  can  have  word  sent  to  you  when  it  is  returned

to  the  shelf,  by  writing  your  name,  address,  the 
title  and  number  of  the  book  on  a  slate,  which 
will  be  furnished  at  the  desk.  In  such  case  the 
book  is  not,  however,  retained  for  you  if  another 
previously  applies  for  it. 

BOOKS    RECOMMENDED. 

Whenever  a  book  not  belonging  to  the  Library 
is  wanted  by  any  person  using  the  Library,  such 
person  is  particularly  requested  to  enter  the  title 
of  the  book  on  a  slip  furnished  for  the  purpose,  to 
which  the  person's  name  and  residence  must  be 
added.  It  must  be  remembered  that  the  book 
asked  for  may  fail  to  come,  if  the  application  is 
not  legibly  filled  in,  and  correctly,  as  regards 
title,  author,  etc. ;  and,  furthermore,  that  the  order 
may  be  delayed,  if  obscure  penmanship  or  in- 
sufficient or  erroneous  data  render  the  labor  of 
verification  fruitless  or  uncertain. 

The  book,  if  the  purchase  is  approved  by  the 
Trustees,  will  be  procured  as  soon  as  possible ; 
and,  when  received,  will  be  retained  in  the  Library 
three  days,  subject  to  the  order  of  the  person  who 
asked  for  it,  to  whom  due  notice  to  that  effect  will 
be  sent  by  mail.  It  is  not  intended,  however,  to 
allow  applicants  to  secure  the  first  use  of  popular 
books  by  recommending  them  before  publication ; 
as  such  books  are  purchased  irrespective  of 
recommendations. 

If  the  book  recommended  is  a  foreign  book 
(even  though  it  may  have  an  American  title-page) 


30  CATALOGUES. 

it  is  for  the  interest  of  the  Library  to  avoid  the 
payment  of  duties  and  to  gain  an  increased  dis- 
count by  purchasing  through  its  European  agents. 
Six  or  eight  weeks,  and  in  some  cases  a  longer 
time,  may  elapse  before  the  applicant  be  notified 
of  its  arrival.  Additional  delays  take  place  when 
the  book  needs  to  be  bound  before  it  is  sent  to  the 
Library  by  its  agents,  or  when  recommendations 
are  received  just  after  the  despatch  of  orders, 
particularly  as  regards  foreign  books. 

When  the  book  recommended  is  out  of  print 
(and  books  still  standing  in  current  catalogues 
are  often  so)  no  positive  assurance  of  its  speedy 
procurement  can  be  given.  When  applicants 
desire  that  a  duplicate  should  be  added,  they  will 
say  so ;  but  judgment  of  the  necessity  must  be 
based  upon  the  Library's  records  of  circulation. 
Bates  Hall  books  are  not  generally  duplicated;  but 
other  copies,  or  copies  of  cheaper  editions,  are 
sometimes  put  in  the  popular  departments. 

If  books  are  recommended  by  those  not  holding 
cards,  no  claim  for  special  use  can  be  established 
even  if  they  are  bought  on  such  recommendation 

American  orders  are  despatched  almost  daily; 
English,  French,  and  German,  weekly  or  fort- 
nightly, and  those  to  Italy  as  occasion  requires. 
A  Spanish  agency  has  been  established  at  Madrid, 
from  which  books  are  received  at  irregular  in- 
tervals.

INDEXES  TO  PERIODICALS,   ETC. 


By  the  publication  of  the  new  edition  of  Poole's 
Index  to  Periodical  Literature,  the  reader  is  fur- 
nished with  a  much  n<  .aide.  This  work, 
which  can  be  found  at  the  desks  of  the  Central 
Library  and  Branches,  is  brought  down  to  January, 
1882.  It  includes  only  periodicals  in  the  English 
language,  and  but  few  that  a  f<  ssional  or 
otitic.  A  cooperative  index  to  current  num- 
bers of  leading  periodicals  is  published  as  a  sup- 
plement to  the  Library  Journal,  beginning  in  the 
[C.R.  17.1.8,  L883].  The  cont<  nts  of 
many  periodicals  not  included  in  Poole's  Index 
can  be  found  in  the  indexes  enumerated  in  the 
followin  .  which  is  confined  to  such 
periodicals  as  are  in  the    Boston  Public  Library. 

United  States   C< 
—  The  Index  of  these  docum<  nts,  begun  under  the 
superintendence  of  the  late  Pr  .  C. 

Jewett,  and  printed  to  the  year  1863  in  the  two 
volumes  of  Catalogues  of  the  Pate-  Hall  Collection, 
has  since  that  time  been  continued  in  manuscript 
on  canl-,  with  which  have  been  embodied,  in  a 
illy  enlarged  form,  the  contents  of  the  printed 
lists  i  to.     The  whole  forms  a  collection  of 

nearly  fifty  thousand  titles,  which  are  accessible 
to  reader-.  Under  the  heading-  United  Slates,  in 
the  following  list,  other  indexes  are  mentioned. 


INDEXES    TO    PERIODICALS.    ETC.  55 

The  collection  of  congressional  documents  in  the 
Boston  Public  Library,  based  on  the  collection 
made  by  Peter  Force  and  Edward  Everett,  and 
generously  increased  by  the  friends  of  the  Library, 
is  believed  to  be  unrivalled. 

Parliamentary  Sessional  Papers  of  Great 
Britain.  —  The  index  of  these  papers,  from  1807 
to  1865,  can.be  found  in  the  two  printed  volumes 
of  the  Bates  Hall  Catalogue.  From  1866-1869, 
reference  must  be  had  to  the  numerical  list  and 
index  which  accompanies  the  documents  of  each 
year.  An  index  of  the  papers  for  1870  to  1878-9 
forms  volume  83,  part  1,  of  the  documents  for 
18S0.  Other  indexes  are  mentioned  in  this  list 
under  Great  Britain  and  Hansard.  Indexes  of 
subjects  selected  from  the  sessional  papers  from 
-1881  are  given  in  the  Library  Bulletins  for 
July,  1878,  January  and  April,  1880,  October, 
1881,  April,  1882,  and  October,  1883,  and  it  is  in- 
tended to  continue  these  indexes  in  the  Bulletins 
whenever  new  documents  are  received.

A   Selection   from   the    Encyclopaedias  in   the

encyclopaedias  in  the  Boston  Public  Library.   Few 

but  those  of  a  general  character  and  a  recent  date

many  encyclopaedias  published  earlier  contain 
much  useful  information,  which  is  not  obsolete. 

The  titles  of  other  encyclopaedias  may  be  found 
in  the  Card  Catalogue,  under  the  words  Encyclo- 
paedias, and  under  the  names  of  the  various 
sciences,  division  Dictionaries.

PATENTS. 


The  Patent  Specifications  and  Drawings,  and 
the  decisions  of  the  Commissioner  of  Patents  and 
of  the  United  States  courts  of  the  United  States; 
the  Patent  Documents  of  Great  Britain  (from  16 17 
to  1882  inclusive,  with  the  acconrpanying  indexes, 
etc.,  completed)  ;  of  France  (from  1791  to  18G7, 
1871  to  1877,  with  indexes)  ;  of  Germany  to  date, 
Canada,  and  Victoria,  are  kept  in  the  Patent  room, 
adjacent  to  the  Bates  Hall,  under  the  charge  of  a 
Curator,  and  can  be  examined  on  application  at 
the  desk.     [See  Article  7.] 

The  American  volumes  are  received  monthly, 
about  six  months  behind  date.  The  Official 
Gazette  is  received  weekly.  The  Journal  of  the 
Franklin  Institute  is  in  the  Patent  room,  and  may 
be  consulted  for  American  patents  previous  to  the 
official  records. 

Whatever  matter  relating  to  patents  the  Con- 
gressional documents  contain,  can  be  most  readily 
found  by  consulting  the  3is.  index  to  these  docu- 
ments in  Bates  Hall. 

The  British  volumes  are  received  once  a  year, 
and  make  now  about  50  volumes  each  year.  Since 
187G  the  plates  are  reproduced  in  a  smaller  size 
than  heretofore,  and  bound  with  the  specifications, 
100  of  each,   with   an   index,  forming  a  volume. 


96  PATENTS. 

The  Commissioners  of  Patents'  Journal  forms 
two  volumes  a  year.  An  abridgment  of  the 
patents,  arranged  by  subjects,  brought  down  to 
1866  (many  having  been  brought  down  to  1876) , 
makes  a  series  of  120  small  volumes  on  99  sub- 
jects. This  is  continued  in  an  Annual  "Descrip- 
tive index,1'  which  ends  at  the  close  of  1875. 
Patents  for  Firearms  have  a  separate  series,  com- 
ing down  to  1853.  ISTo  abridgments  of  current 
patents  have  been  published  since  1875.  The 
Subject-matter  index  down  to  1852  fills  two  vol- 
umes, and  is  continued  by  an  annual  volume  to 
1870.  From  1871  to  1882,  inclusive,  these  annual 
continuations  of  the  index  have  been  published  in 
a  more  condensed  form  yearly. 

There  is  also  a  Reference  index,  1617-1852, 
with  Appendix  volume,  1853-5;  a  Chronological 
index,  1617-1868;  and  an  Alphabetical  index  of 
Patentees,  1617-1882.  During  1866-7-8,  the  En- 
glish Patent  Office  published  an  index  to  foreign 
scientific  periodicals.  For  recent  British  patents, 
"The  Engineer"  [7961.2],  a  weekly  London 
journal,  which  is  received  regularly  in  the  Period- 
ical reading-room  of  the  Library,  should  be  con- 
sulted. It  contains  a  "  Patent  Journal,  condensed 
from  the  Journal  of  the  Commissioners  of  patents," 
and  gives  abstracts  of  specifications.  These  vol- 
umes cannot  be  taken  from  the  building.  Matter 
relative  to  the  British  system  of  patents  may  be 
found  in  the  sessional  papers  of  Parliament,  by 
consulting  the  indexes  to  them  mentioned  on 
page  66  of  this  hand-book. 


PATENTS.  97 

The  British  Parliament  passed,  in  1883,  a  new- 
Patent  law,  to  go  into  operation  January  1,  1884. 
A  copy  of  the  law  can  be  seen  in  the  Patent  room. 
The  Canada  Patent-Office  record  (monthly) ,  begun 
in  1873,  is  in  the  Patent  room. 

There  are  indexes  of  Victoria  (Australia)  pat- 
ents for  1854-73,  with  abstracts  of  specifications 
and  plates  for  1869-73  ;  also  alphabetical  abstracts 
for  1854-66,  Accidents  — Buoys;  and  of  patents 
relating  to  metals. 

The  French  patents  have  the  specifications  and 
plates  bound  together.  The  volumes  for  1863-71 
are  now  in  course  of  publication,  so  that  the  miss- 
ing numbers  will  be  in  time  supplied.  The  vol- 
umes of  the  Technologiste  (1839-83),  kept  in  the 
room,  cover  these  missing  years.  A  Subject-matter 
index  of  the  French  patents,  just  published  by  the 
United  States  Patent  Office  (1883)  is  in  the  Patent 
room . 

The  library  does  not  receive  the  regular  official 
issue  of  the  German  patents.  For  these  consult  the 
Patentblatt,  a  wreekly  journal  without  specifications, 
and  drawings,  and  the  Illustrirtes  Patent-Blatt, 
issued  three  times  a  month,  with  specifications  and 
drawings.  For  patents  or  inventions  previous  to 
1877,  consult  Dingler's  Polytechnisches  Journal 
[5927.1]  (from  1820  to  date)  and  the  Polytech- 
nisches Centralblatt  [7960.5]  (from  1835  to  1875). 
All  these  are  to  be  found  in  the  Patent  room. 

The  "  Bulletin  du  Musee  de  Tindustrie  "  (1857- 
83),  published  at  Brussels,  and  kept  in  the  room, 
may  also  be  consulted  for  Belgian  patents. 


98  PATENTS. 

The  following-  list  of  books  does  not  contain  all 
in  the  Library  of  interest  to  persons  using  the 
Patent  room.  Other  books  may  be  found  by  look- 
ing' in  the  Card  Catalogue  under  the  names  of 
inventions,  of  inventors,  and  of  parties  to  suits 
about  patents.

GENERAL  INFORMATION. 


The  Boston  Public  Library  contained,  November 
1,  1883,  434,158  volumes,  exclusive  of  pamphlets. 
These  are  distributed  as  follows  :  At  the  Central 
Library  313,811  volumes,  and  at  the  Branches 
120,317  volumes. 

The  Lower  Hall  of  the  Central  Library  contains 
the  larger  part  of  the  English  fiction,  and  books 
for  the  young,  to  be  found  within  this  building, 
with  a  limited  collection  of  books  in  the  depart- 
ments of  history,  travel,  the  arts  and  sciences,  and 
works  in  foreign  languages,  etc. 

The  Bates  Hall  collection,  numbering  274,375 
volumes,  represents  the  accumulation  of  books 
received  by  gift  or  purchase,  during  the  past 
thirty-one  years. 


EARLY   PRINTED  BOOKS. 

The  oldest  complete  specimen  of  printing  in 
the  Library  is  the  "  Supplementing  "  of  Nieolaus 
Auximanus,  printed  in  Venice  about  1471,  shelf- 
number,  **7620.8.  It  is  described  in  the  Bulletin 
for  April,  1883,  p.  344.

THE  BOWDITCH  LIBRARY. 

In  the  year  1858  the  sons  of  the  late  Nathaniel 
Bowditch  gave  to  the  Boston  Public  Library  their 
father's  books  and  manuscripts.  These  are  kept 
together  in  a  part  of  the  Bates  Hall  since  then 
known  as  the  Bowditch  Gallery,  and  are  cata- 
logued in  the  Bates  Hall  Index,  published  in  1861. 
Later  additions  are  catalogued  in  the  Bulletin  for 
April,  1878,  p.  330,  and  reprinted  as  a  separate  cata- 
logue [shelf  no.  *6200,20].  Within  the  past  six 
years  the  mathematical  part  of  this  collection  has 
been  largely  increased  by  books  purchased  with 
a  fund  given  for  that  purpose  by  members  of  the 
Bowditch  family.  There  is  a  special  card  cata- 
logue of  these  mathematical  books  in  this  col- 
lection in  the  Trustees'  Room,  which  can  be 
consulted  by  students.

THE  PRINCE   LIBRARY. 

The  Reverend   Thomas  Prince  bequeathed,  in 

1758,  to  the  Old  South  Church  of  Boston,  of  which 
he  had  been  the  pastor,  his  collection  of  books  and 
manuscripts,  a  large  part  of  which  relate  to  the 
civil  and  religious  history  of  New  England.  In  the 
year  18G6  this  collection  was  deposited  by  the 
Deacons  of  the  Old  South  Church  in  the  Boston 
Public  Library.  The  introduction  to  the  Catalogue 
of  the  Prince  Library,  which  was  published  in 
the  year  1870,  gives  an  account  of  this  unique  col- 
lection. Among  the  rare  books  which  it  includes 
are  two  copies  of  the  Bay  Psalm  Book,  which  was 
printed  at  Cambridge  in  the  year  1640,  and  which 
was  the  first  book  printed  in  the  British  posses- 
sions. Also  copies  of  the  first  edition  of  Eliot's 
Indian  Bible,  Cambridge,  16G3,  and  of  the  second 
edition,  Cambridge,  1G85,  and  a  copy  of  Eliot's 
Indian  Primer,  Boston,  1720.  For  an  account  of  the 
many  other  rare  books  in  this  Library  reference 
must  be  had  to  the  Catalogue.  The  manuscripts 
collected  by  Thomas  Prince,  and  indexed  in  this 
Catalogue  under  the  divisions,  Mather  papers, 
1632-1080,  Cotton  papers,  1632-1680,  Cotton  and 
Prince  papers,  and  Hinckley  papers,  1676-1699,

rich  in  editions  of  the  classics,  and  in  works  upon 
language,  ecclesiastical  history,  etc.,  and  includes 
man}'  rare  books. 

THE   TICKNOR    LIBRARY. 

In  the  introduction  to  the  Ticknor  Catalogue 
reference  is  made  to  the  character  and  value  of 
this  rare  collection  of  Spanish  and  Portuguese 
books,  which  was  bequeathed  to  the  Boston  Pub-

THE  BARTON  LIBRARY. 

An  interesting  sketch  of  this   collection,  as  it 
was  when  in  the  hands  of  the  collector,  may  be 


126  GENERAL    INFORMATION. 

found    in   Wynne's   "Private    libraries    of  New 
York"  [2126.3]. 

The  Shakespearian  part,  which  is  the  finest  col- 
lection of  its  kind  in  America,  and  will  take  rank 
among  the  best  in  Europe,  embraces  about  2,500 
volumes.  The  catalogue  of  this  portion,  includ- 
ing, also,  nearly  2,000  works  upon  the  same  subject 
in  the  general  library,  lias  already  been  issued. 
From  this  it  will  be  seen  that  the  Library  has  the 
first  four  folios  in  fine  condition,  twenty-two  early 
quartos,  and  the  most  desirable  editions  published 
since,  such  as  the  first  illustrated,  the  first  Ameri- 
can, the  first  Boston,  the  Sir  Walter  Scott,  the 
Halliwell  folio,  and  nearly  all  the  variorum  edi- 
tions. Moreover,  there  are  translations  in  Ger_ 
man,  French,  Italian,  Dutch,  Spanish,  Russian, 
Bohemian,  Danish,  Friesic,  Greek,  Hebrew,  Latin, 
Plattdeutsch,  Polish,  Swedish,  and  Welsh.  The 
collection  of  works  illustrative  of  Shakespeare  and 
his  writings  is  wonderfully  complete,  and  is  con- 
stantly added  to,  everything  of  value  published  in 
this  country  or  abroad  being  procured  it*  possible. 

The  catalogue  of  the  remainder  of  the  Barton 
Library  is  nearly  ready  for  the  printer,  and  can  be 
consulted  on  application  at  the  desk  in  Bates 
Hall.  Among  the  early  specimens  of  printing  are 
Colonne's  Historia  Troiana,  148G ;  Thwrocz's 
Chronicles  of  the  Kings  of  Hungary,  1488;  Gesta 
Romanorum,  three  editions  before  1490;  Historia 
Alexandri,  1486  ;  Albumasar  flores  astrologie,  be- 
fore 1488;  Bucolicum  carmen,  by  Calpurnius 
Siculus,  1491.

THE   HUNT   COLLECTION. 

Mr.  Benjamin  P.  Hunt  bequeathed  to  the  Boston 
Public  Library  his  collection  of  books,  manu- 
scripts, and  charts  on  the  West  Indies.  These 
number  about  700  volumes,  and,  added  to  the 
books  of  a  similar  character  already  in  the  Library, 
form  a  noteworthy  collection. 

THE  FRANKLIN  LIBRARY. 

This  department  of  the  Boston  Public  Library 
is  based  upon  the  collection  of  Benjamin  Franklin 


128  GENERAL    INFORMATION. 

books,  pamphlets,  and  engravings  given  to  the 
Library  by  Dr.  Samuel  A.  Green,  and  since  in- 
creased by  the  income  of  a  fund  received  fro*m 
him.  To  these  have  been  added  similar  books, 
from  the  general  collection  of  the  Library,  and 
the  whole  have  been  placed  on  shelves  set  apart 
for  them.  Lists  of  the  titles  of  this  collection 
have  been  published  in  the  several  Bulletins  of  the 
Public  Library  for  1882  and  1883,  and  they  will  be 
continued  in  a  future  number  of  the  Bulletin.  At 
their  completion  they  will  be  published  as  a  sepa- 
rate catalogue.  These  lists  contain  also  the  titles 
of  such  works  as  this  Library  lacks  and  wishes  to 
receive  by  purchase  or  gift. 

THE   THAYER  COLLECTION. 

The  Public  Library  received,  in  the  year  1877, 
by  bequest  from  Miss  Eliza  Mary  Thayer,  about 
900  volumes,  largely  upon  English  history.  An 
especial  value  is  attached  to  these  books  from  the 
portraits  which  they  contain,  many  of  which  were 
taken  from  other  sources  and  inserted  in  these 
volumes.  This  bequest  was  supplemented,  in  the 
year  1883,  by  a  gift  of  similar  works  from  Mrs. 
R.  Anne  Nichols,  and  Miss  Caroline  Coddington 
Thayer,  the  sisters  of  Miss  Eliza  M.  Thayer. 

THE   TOSTI  ENGRAVINGS. 

The  Tosti  engravings  were  presented  to  the  Li- 
brary, in  1869,  by  Thomas  G.  Appleton,  who  pur- 
chased the  collection  in  Rome.  A  few  of  the  prints 
in  frames  are  displayed  in  various  apartments  of 
the  Library.     The  greater  part  of  those  that  came 


GENERAL    INFORMATION.  129 

framed  have  been  removed  from  the  frames  and 
arranged  alphabetically  by  the  names  of  their  en- 
gravers in  portfolios.  About  5,100  prints  are  in 
bound  volumes,  and  several  hundred  more  are  in 
portfolios.  The  catalogues  of  them  have  been 
described  on  page  21  of  this  Hand-book. 

The  previous  owner  of  this  collection  was  the 
Cardinal  Antonio  Tosti,  who  died  March  23,  I860, 
aired  90.  In  1834  he  was  made  treasurer  of  the 
pontifical  government,  a  post  which  he  continued 
to  hold  for  ten  years,  when  he  resigned  it  into  the 
hands  of  Gregory  XIV.  He  is  regarded  as  the 
founder  of  the  industrial  and  artistic  school  in  the 
hospital  San  Michele,  of  which  institution  he  was 
director  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

This  collection  was  made  by  Cardinal  Tosti, 
probably  without  any  systematic  plan ;  its  devel- 
opment having  doubtless  been  controlled  in  some 
degree  by  his  opportunities.  As  patron  of  the 
school  of  San  Michele,  in  Rome,  he  stood  in  inti- 
mate relations  with  two  of  its  scholars,  who  gained 
eminence  in  the  art  of  engraving,  —  Mercurj  and 
Calamatta,  —  and  he  doubtless  had  their  assistance 
in  gathering,  whence  he  could,  specimens  of  their 
art;  while  they,  furthermore,  almost  always  fur- 
nished him  with  the  earliest  impressions  of  their 
works.  A  distinctive  feature  of  the  collection  is, 
beyond  doubt,  its  portraits.  Edelinck,  Drevet, 
Nanteuil,  and  Schmidt,  are  here  strongly  repre- 
sented. The  earlier  Italian  masters  will  not  be 
found  to  be  well  represented.  The  English  school 
is  but  slightly  represented,  while  the  modern 
French  school  is  more  fully  set  forth. 


130  GENERAL    INFORMATION* 

These  engravings  can  be  studied  to  advantage 
in  connection  with  books  in  the  Public  Library, 
on  the  fine  arts,  engraving,  painting,  and  in  works 
upon  different  artists,  etc.  The  student  should 
consult  the  Gray  engravings,  at  the  Boston  Museum 
of  Fine  Arts,  which  is  a  more  systematic  collec- 
tion. 

BRANCH  LIBRARIES. 

There  are  Branch  libraries  of  the  Boston  Public 
Library  at  Brighton,  Charlestown,  Dorchester, 
East  Boston,  Jamaica  Plain,  Roxbmy,  South  Bos- 
ton, and  at  the  South  End.  These  contain  from 
10,000  volumes,  or  thereabouts,  to  25,000  volumes 
each.  In  some  cases  these  branches  have  special 
funds,  the  income  of  which  is  used  for  the  pur- 
chase of  books. 

There  are  delivery  stations  at  the  Lower  Mills 
(Dorchester),  Mattapan,  Neponset,  the  North  End 
(Boston),  Roslindale,  and  WestRoxbury.  Books 
in  the  Bates  Hall  of  the  Central  Library  can  be 
applied  for  at  the  several  branches  and  delivery 
stations,  and,  if  they  are  on  the  shelves,  they  will 
be  sent  to  the  branch  or  delivery  the  same  or  the 
following  day. 

GIFTS. 

Gifts  of  books  and  of  every  description  of  pam- 
phlets are  very  acceptable.  When  requested  by 
note  or  letter,  or  b}r  word  left  with  the  desk  attend- 
ants, the  Librarian  will  cause  packages  -to  be 
sent  for.  Friends  at  a  distance  may  send  by  ex- 
press, at  the  Library's  expense.

CAUTIONS,  ETC. 


%*  Prompt  notice  of  change  of  residence  must 
be  given.  Holders  of  cards  must  surrender  them 
when  they  cease  to  be  residents.  Other  non-resi- 
dents must  do  so  when  the  reasons  for  which  cards 
were  given  no  longer  exist,  and  they  are  expected 
not  to  give  occasion  for  the  sending  of  Delinquent 
notices. 

%*  Special  cards  are  not  to  be  used  for  general 
purposes,  but  exclusively  for  those  specified. 

***  Borrowers  finding  any  book  or  periodical 
mutilated,  or  unwarrantably  defaced,  are  expected 
to  report  it. 

Writing  on  books,  even  for  mere  corrections  of 
the  press,  is  unconditionally  forbidden,  and  a 
reward  has  been  offered  for  information  leading 
to  the  conviction  under  the  law  of  persons  thus 
abusing  the  privileges  of  the  Library. 

%*  No  claim  can  be  established  because  of  the 
failure  of  any  notice  to  or  from  the  Library. 

%*  Conversation  with  attendants,  except  on 
matters  pertaining  to  the  Library,  is  strictly  pro- 
hibited. Gentlemen  will  remain  uncovered  while 
in  the  building.  Calling  upon  the  attendants  in 
Library  hours  is  not  allowed,. 


150  CAUTIONS,    ETC 

%*  There  is  no  admittance  within  the  rails 
without  permission. 

***  Headers  icill  confer*  a  favor  by  reporting  to 
the  Librarian  any  undue  delay  in  the  getting  of 
books.  An  apparent  delay  may  occur,  in  the  Lower 
Hall  and  at  the  Branches,  if  they  are  not  careful 
to  listen  for  the  first  calling  of  their  names,  and 
in  the  Bates  Hall  to  watch  at  the  desk  for  the  re- 
turn of  the  runner.  The  jmblic  are  reminded  that 
an}T  report  of  delinquency,  to  be  helpful,  must  be 
made  at  the  time  of  its  occurrence.  The  Library 
holds  the  borrowers  responsible  for  books  after 
the  books  hare  been  laid  upon  the  Delivery 
counter  and  the  borrowers'  names  have  been 
called. 

Any  suggestions  or  complaints,  made  in  writing, 
may  be  addressed  to  the  Librarian,  but  they  should 
be  signed  and  an  address  ffiven.  A  book  for  the 
reception  of  such  suggestions  or  complaints  is 
always  accessible  at  the  Bates  Hall  and  Lower 
Hall  delivery  desks.
